Well, I followed everyone's advice and sought out a "real" doctor to get
tested for lyme disease from my battle with the tick a few weeks ago.
Picked up the results today -- negative. (whew!). Doc said that the killer
symptoms I had was most likely an allergic reaction to something else the
tick was carrying but wouldn't speculate as to what it could be. That would
explain why, within a few hours of having the little bugger removed, I had
instanteous recovery.
The office visit and the blood test came to $148.76. Charitable donations
are accepted at...
The moral of the story is -- like we haven't heard this one before -- check
for ticks when you're hiking. Duh.
Thanks for everyone's concern...
